Most media point to Luis Enrique and his style of play as the culprits for La Roja’s elimination
The farewell to the Spanish team in Qatar, their elimination on penalties against Morocco, the cup, as it turns out, the front pages of the Spanish and even the world press. The focus is on Luis Enrique, a coach who has established himself as La Roja’s sole leader; In the absence of figures, from a mighty star, the Asturian has become the benchmark for this team that has fallen into the round of 16. And of course most darts are aimed at you.
There are all kinds of blows. “Abc,” with a photo of the coach trying to comfort Laporte, is blunt: “La España nini, no claw, no ideas, no goal.” And he continues: “Luis Enrique’s men are eliminated in the round of 16 against Morocco after a worthless game and a catastrophic penalty shootout.” ‘El Mundo’, for its part, is very difficult. Jorge Bustos, his chief of opinion, writes: “This cowardly Spain is where it belongs: in its damn house.” The headline isn’t wasted either. “They don’t give for more.” And ‘El País’ looks at the playing style of the coach: «Spain succumbs to nothing with a lot of possession». Well, not to score a goal and get knocked out. ‘La Vanguardia’, perhaps one of the few newspapers in which Luis Enrique is not in the cover photo, says: «The most powerless Spain returns home».
In sports papers, the sticks are repeated. ‘Marca’ for example: «The World Cup is great for us. Fiasco in the second round of Luis Enrique’s Spain: eliminated in a tournament in which he has gone from less to more ». For his part says ‘Ace’. “Sanse is ready. Spain exits the World Cup on penalties after a lack of possession and very few shots. And he adds that the Federation doubts whether Luis Enrique should continue. “Mundo Deportivo” also reflects on La Roja’s inability to Scaring Morocco. “World KO. Spain crashes again in the round of 16, unable to break through the good North African defense and score a single penalty. And ‘Sport’ gives a somewhat more general reflection. “What a stick.” ‘Superdeporte’ is more powerful: «World Failure».
In the international press, except in Italy because of his past in Roma, Luis Enrique pays attention to the “fairytale” of Morocco, to the fact that an African team slipped into the quarterfinals… But ‘Le Parisien’ He reminds you one of the aspects that the Asturian coach mentioned in the press conference before the game against his executioner and also in one of his Twicht sessions: «Eliminated by penalties, the Spanish players had prepared by taking 1000 penalties each» .
